My exploration of drawing and printmaking began in 2021, when a post-pandemic desire to reconnect with my creativity led me to a Drawing Foundation course with the Open College of the Arts and to joining a local life-drawing group.

​

What started as a project to help me adjust to the profound changes brought by the pandemic soon became an essential creative outlet. It gave me space to observe the world more closely, process my experiences, and connect with a wider creative community.

​

A weekend lino-printing course with Midlands-based printmaker Alix Almond sparked a deep fascination with this tactile, process-driven medium. In 2023, I continued developing my practice with a short printmaking course at Buckinghamshire College, exploring drypoint and etching, followed in 2024 by a collagraph masterclass with Katherine Jones RA at the Curwen Print Study Centre in Suffolk.

Discovering collagraph was a turning point in my practice. It offered the perfect bridge between drawing and printmaking. Working with this intaglio technique allows me to build layered, textured plates, which I combine with drypoint to carve lines and forms that create richly images with depth and emotion.

​

In 2025, Standing Still, my collagraph depicting the historic net shops of Hastings, was selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition—an important milestone in my creative journey. This recognition led to opportunities to sell my work through Hastings Contemporary, and I am currently exhibiting work for sale at Banbury Museum & Gallery in Oxfordshire.
